System configuration features

The Netopia R5000 Series Router’s default settings may be all you need to configure your Netopia R5000 Series Router. Some users, however, require advanced settings or prefer manual control over the default selections. For these users, the Netopia R5000 Series provides system configuration options.

To help you determine whether you need to use the system configuration options, review the following requirements. If you have one or more of these needs, use the system configuration options described in later chapters.

System configuration of dynamic IP address distribution through DHCP, MacIP, or BootP

Greater network security through the use of filters

System configuration of AppleTalk LAN settings

System configuration of connections to AppleTalk networks through the Internet or any IP network, using AURP (AppleTalk “tunneling”)

System configuration of connection profiles
